Episode-1021- Brad and Mike from Full Sprectrum Survival

Mike and Brad have been immersed in the survival and preparedness genre for over 15 years. The feel they have been greatly blessed to be able to live on a large piece of property in the middle of Florida where they have been able to dive deeply into both.

Their group has a unique skill set in that we are able to create mock scenarios for ourselves both on paper and in reality and the participating members of the group must work their way through these scenarios They have documented this in their Tactical Scenario Youtube Series.

At the behest of a few of their friends and people that they consider influential in the genre, they created a Youtube channel after years and years of just being watchers and listeners in the community. Brad and Mike were always in their own words, “those silent viewers that would soak in all of the information that great podcasts such as TSP and Youtube channels had to offer”.

Today they join us to discuss their work and emergency preparedness. They also have a very large announcement for the prepper community that they will be sharing with us today.

Great show, again, Jack. Loved it. I like to think that my prepping comes down to one word: Adaptation. More and more I’m thinking that survival isn’t as much about fire power, or food storage or even some skills, bu rather whether I’m able to adapt to whatever situation presents itself. Better to adjust to less than figure out how to get/have more. I think that’s sorta what the guys were saying today about their scenarios. I just don’t have the courage to flip the switch on electricity to see how that would work even for a day or two. I’ll make that one of my 13 in 13.

Electricity is a big one, it’s not fun, especially in Florida to voluntarily go a few days (or even a few hours for that matter) without power. It is an exciting experience though, to test our plans and see what works and what doesn’t.

Carrie, Thanks for the support! We are just part of the production but knowing video production from our profession, we understand first hand that to travel around the US and gather video from various cast members and locations it takes a long time.

A normal independent film can take up to 3 years to make, less than 1 year is quite rushed.

We are glad that you are looking forward to it and will do everything within our power to shoot with speed because we’re just as excited to see the final product!

Could anyone elaborate further on Compartmentalization learning as taught in the military? How does it work? Is there any resources online that I can look into? I would love to find more information about the military teaching methods. Thanks.

@Lee about to start recording today’s show so short answer for now. They take a task, require 100% accuracy for a pass, then drill your ass on it over and over and over and over until you get it right. it is amazing how fast and how much people can lean when they have all other distractions removed and have no choice about the matter.

It’s 1 part “you had to be there” and 2 parts teaching anything to a toddler. I am sorry I have no other resources to point you too so I will just continue to make light of the situation;

No matter how good of a shot you are with a LAW rocket, you will do pushups if you don’t check you back blast area first. But, having done lots of pushups I never killed a buddy when shooting (newer) AT-4’s for real, so I guess it all works.
